“My passion is to help people achieve self-understanding and self-awareness. When people understand themselves, they are able to make decisions based on current needs and the goals they have for life. We provide counselling and therapy in Calgary for individuals, couples and families. But Conscientia Counselling first started in my heart when I graduated with my Master’s Degree. In my journey, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to different theories, professional supervision and a very high level of collegiality. This is what I aim for in my practice. We offer counselling services to couples, families and individuals who are in need of support. Conscientia Counselling is an inclusive practice that supports ALL individuals regardless of race, age, sexual orientation or spiritual preference.

I am originally from Cuba and came to Canada in 2000.

I obtained a Bachelor’s in Education in Cuba where I also practiced teaching for the first two years of my career. When I moved to Canada, I worked as a teacher assistant for a couple of years until I was able to validate my degree, soon after I was working as a teacher in a loving and supportive school community. As the years went by, I realized that something was missing. My work with teenagers opened my eyes and the doors to a realm of new possibilities…counselling psychology.

I finished my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology in 2015 and started my own counselling practice in January 2016. I was hired to work on a part-time basis with a wonderful organization called Insight Counselling and Therapy Centre with which I remain linked professionally. At Insight, I helped supervise students who were finishing their Master’s degrees to become counsellors. Learn more about Our Team and their diverse backgrounds.
